claims.

The present invention relates to a weather and lock door strip and hasfor its object to provide a combination structure having both thefeatures of an eflicient and effective lock and weather strip. 7

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provisionof a weather and lock door strip of this nature which is simple in itsconstruct-ion, easy to manipulate, strong and durable, comparativelyinexpensive to manufacture and install, thoroughly efiicient andreliable in use, compact and convenient in its arrangement of parts andother'wise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel featuresof construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as willhereinafter be more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is an elevation of a door frame with a pair of swinging doorstherein showing my improved weather and lock door strip associatedtherewith.

Figure 2 is an enlarged detail sectional view through the centralportion of the mechanism.

Figure 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view taken substantially on theline 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a perspective View of the strips.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the casing.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of one of the keeper plates.

Figure '7 is a perspective view of the rockable element.

Figure 8 is an enlarged detail sectional view taken substantially on theline 8-8 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5denotes a door frame with a pair of doors 6 and 7 swingably mountedtherein on suitable hinges 8 and 9 respectively. This particular doorconstruction has been selected merely for the purposes ofexemplification to show the utility of my improved mechanism but it isnot my intention to limit my mechanism to this particular use.

The door 6 in its free edge is provided with a slot 10 the centralportion 11 of which is deeper than the remaining portions. A casing 12is mounted in the groove 11 and has an enlarged central portion 14protruding in the portion 11. Numerals 15 denote combination boltsstrips slidable in the casing 12 toward and away from each other andalso slidable toward and away from the free edge of the door 7. Theinner ends of the bolts 15 are provided with enlarged heads 16 theopposed faces of which are provided with registering recesses 1'7 and aspring 18 has ends seated in the recesses 17 and urges the bolt stripsaway from each other so that the outer beveled ends thereof may engagein keeper plates 19 provided in the frame as indicated in dotted linesin Figure 1. A plurality of bolts 20 are mounted in slots 21 and are'threadedly engaged in the bolt strips 15 and springs '22 on these boltsurge these bolt strips into engagement with the free edge of the door 7.Slots 23 in the casing 12 are in registry with the portion 11 at theends thereof and bolts 24 extend th'erethroughand are threadedly engagedin the bolt strips 15 and springs 25 are mounted thereon and tensionedto urge the bolt strips toward the free edge of the door 7. Links 26 areengaged with the bolts 24 and are engaged in cranks 27 on a rockableelement 28 which has a bolt 29 threaded therein and rockable in anopening 30 in the portions 14 of the casing 12. A lever 31 is keyed onthe element 28 and extends through a slot 32 and a registering slot of aplate 33. By swinging the lever 31 it will be readily seen that thestrips 15 may be moved toward each other or away from each other.

In the door 7 is a barrel 35 of conventional construction which operatesa bolt 36 through a pin and slot connection 36 whereby the bolt 36 maybe protruded in locking position as shown in Figure 2 to extend betweenthe inner ends of the bolt strips for holding them in locked position.

It will be noted that the outer edges of the bolt strips are rounded asshown in Figure 8 for engaging with the free edge of the door 7. It willbe readily apparent that this mechanism may be used in various otherways from that described. The present embodiment of the invention hasbeen described in considerable detail for the purposes ofexemplification since in actual practice it attains the features ofadvantage enumerated as desirable in the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and inthe combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafterclaimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. A mechanism of the class described comprising a casing open at oneside and at the ends prising a casing open at one side and at the endsthereof, bolt strips slidably mounted in the casing to move away fromeach other and toward each other and to move into and out of the casingthrough the side opening, spring means urging the strips through saidside openings, spring means urging the strips away from each other,means for moving the strips toward and away from each other.

3. A mechanism of the class described com prising a casing open at oneside and at the ends thereof, bolt strips slidably mounted in the easingto move away from each other and toward each other and to move into andout of the casing through th'e'side opening, spring means urging thestrips through said side openings, spring means urging the strips awayfrom each other, means for moving the, strips toward and away from eachother, a rotatable element having cranks, links engaged with the cranks,bolts engaged with the strips and extending through slots in the casing,said links being engaged with said bolts, and means for rocking theelements.

4. A mechanism of the class described com prising a casing open at onesideand at the ends thereof, bolt strips slidably mounted in the casingto move away from each other and toward each other and to move into andout of the casing through the side opening, spring means urging thestrips through said side openings, spring means urging the strips awayfrom each other, means for moving the strips toward and away from eachother, a rotatable element hav= ing cranks, links engaged with thecranks, bolts engaged with the strips and extending through slots in thecasing, said links being engaged with said bolts, and means for rockingthe elements, keeper plates having slots for receiving the outer ends ofthe strips.

5. A mechanism of the class described comprising a casing'open at oneside and at the ends thereof, bolt strips slidably mounted in the casingto move away from each other and toward each other and to move into andout of the casing through the side opening, spring means urging thestrips through said side openings, spring means urging the strips awayfrom each other, means for moving the strips toward and away from eachother, a rotatable element having cranks, links engaged with the cranks,boltsengaged with the strips and extending through slots in the casing,said links being engaged with said bolts, and means for rocking theelements, keeper plates having slots for receiving the outer ends of thestrips, a lock, a bolt operable by said lock and adapted to be projectedbetween M- the inner ends of the strips to hold them in locked position.
